If you stop hearing from me, that’s exactly what happened; look for that van.

Them’s the fanciest lookin’ Funyuns I ever did saw, I tell ya whut

I guess what happens is people can redact it such that they can no longer see it in their particular pdf software but then a different software can bypass it

That’s pretty charitable. I’ve worked civil service many years ago and the computer skills of some of them were beyond laughable. I never dealt with redacted documents during that stint of my life but I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if someone “redacted” a document by making the text and background highlight color black and posting the Word docx file online.

the segment has been shared widely on social media

Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play “spot the difference” between what they didn’t want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like sed s/Trump/Biden/g to the script.

This theory is making more and more sense. Which also implies there’s no Who Tony Stark to make him the uber-stretchy pants.

Or maybe he’s like the Hulk and turns back into a regular Who when he’s in a better mood?

I’ve used MaryTTS semi-recently. It’s older but works well enough for my cases. I have it running on a server (locally) and my endpoints make a call to it and playback the returned audio file.

On Android, I use SherpaTTS which has good voices, but I’m not aware of a desktop/Linux option. It mentions using voices from Coqui which you linked, so I would guess that would be the way to go for desktop.

Mastodon, not my cup of tea (to be fair, neither was Twitter). I just don’t find micro-blogging to be very engaging and my mind categorizes it as “brain rot”.

Sharkey? Haven’t heard of that one until I just googled it, but one look at their mascot and…no. Just… no.

Have been looking at joining Piefed instance, though.

Also the way it links with Lemmy feels weird

And the culture is just different. It’s like…imagine the threadiverse portion of the fediverse as a library or a meeting room where people are having a quiet discussion. Mastodon accounts feel like they’re barging in all loud and boorish like “HEYYYYY! LOOK AT ME!!! HASHTAG HASHTAG HASHTAG”

I’m not ready for it to end (even though I knew it was coming and is still a year and a half or more away) 😥

Oh, yeah. I totally forgot about serving size chicanery.

Don’t know if this is any consolation, but the variant going around this season wasn’t the one expected when the vaccines were manufactured. It still seems to lessen the severity a bit, but the vaccine wasn’t made for this H3N2 strain. But yeah, always get the jab.

• “Up to…” when used to describe things like internet speeds
• “Wholesome” when used to describe food. Not really a lie, per se, but “wholesome” has absolutely no meaning when it comes to nutrition and just sounds good
• “Zero calories” or 0 grams of [blank] in the nutrition information. The regulations let them round down.
• Any time you see “free” there’s always at least an implied asterisk

Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.

The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS’s media share to /media mostly for convenience since that’s the main purpose of this box in my workshop.

Basically ssh into the box in my workshop and mplayer my whole music folder on shuffle.

My air fryer never leaves the counter, but it’s also a toaster oven and grill. I can easily cook for the two of us with that and haven’t baked anything in the big oven in months.

The grill plate works great but it’s a PITA to clean up after grilling something that splatters a lot, so I don’t use that much.

Haven’t had those in forever but you could probably pop them in the air fryer or even the toaster oven for half that time.

The last time I recall eating a Hot Pocket was in like 2014 during a week-long power outage. Was using a propane heater to not freeze to death and put the hot pockets over top of that on a wire rack. They came out surprisingly good 😆

Didn’t know that, but I rarely buy name brand these days.

The actual seasoning crumbs are still sealed in a bag (for now? lol). It just doesn’t come with the “shake” bags you pour that into in order to coat the food.
